Gloria Estefan: “You Can’t Equate Criminals With Undocumented Workers”. Actually, Yeah, You Can.

Maybe you should take a look at the Federal laws first.  They are not “undocumented workers”, they are illegal aliens.  Emphasis on ILLEGAL.  ILLEGAL = CRIMINAL.

Welcome to reality, Gloria.  Glad you came to visit, but we know you will be leaving soon.

(CNSNews.com) – Grammy award-winning musician Gloria Estefan told CNSNews.com that Arizona’s new law against illegal immigration is not “going to stop criminals.” She also said, “You can’t equate criminals with undocumented workers.”

The P/Oed Patriot: Students Told to Chant "I am an Obama Scholar"

Students Told to Chant "I am an Obama Scholar"

When I first started watching this video I was impressed with the positive message, that is until the Adult Directed the Students to Chant "I am an Obama Scholar". That is what we call Brain Washing.
Before all of the Haters leave their Comment remember this, Would it still be OK if the Kids were Chanting "I am a Regan, Bush or Clinton Scholar? …Um No…"

The P/Oed Patriot: Students Told to Chant "I am an Obama Scholar"

How Pathetic. Obama FINALLY Covers His Heart During The Anthem… And Uses The Wrong Hand.

Mistake?  Or a purposeful slight of our nation?  You decide.  Of course, if it was a mistake, why are they both that stupid?

Imitating the customs of patriotic little people must be harder for our rulers than you might expect. Check out the wedding rings and buttons if you think this picture was flipped:

At least Comrade Obama is trying now, which is more than his apologists used to be able to say.

On a tip from Oiao.

"I am a Muslim," Obama Tells Egyptian Foreign Minister Gheit Islamic Coup on the White House – Atlas Shrugs

Once again, confirmation that we were all right.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, in which President Obama told him that he was still a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father, the stepson of Muslim stepfather, that his half brothers in Kenya are Muslims, and that he was sympathetic towards the Muslim agenda.

Finally, during the week of 14-18th of January 2010, just on the eve of my winter tour to the US, Rachel picked up a Nile TV broadcast in which Egyptian Foreign Minister Abul Gheit said on the "Round Table Show" that he had had a one on one meeting with Obama who swore to him that he was a Moslem, the son of a Moslem father and step-son of Moslem step-father, that his half-brothers in Kenya were Moslems, and that he was loyal to the Moslem agenda. He asked that the Moslem world show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American problems (Healthcare), that he would show the Moslem world what he would do with Israel.

Moonbattery: ACORN Confesses!

I have talked about ACORN before:   This is a criminal organization and a tool of the corrupt Democrats.

It’s good to see they admit it.  I am sure this will get front page newspaper and primetime MSM coverage, right?  Right?

We all knew it was true, and admissions from ACORN employees are proving we were right all along.

The radical activist group ACORN "works" for the Democratic Party and deliberately promotes election fraud, ACORN employees told FBI investigators, according to an FBI document dump Wednesday.

The documents obtained by Judicial Watch, a watchdog group, are FBI investigators’ reports related to the 2007 investigation and arrest of eight St. Louis, Mo., workers from ACORN’s Project Vote affiliate for violation of election laws. All eight employees involved in the scandal later pleaded guilty to voter registration fraud.

The handwritten reports by FBI agents show that ACORN employees reported numerous irregularities in the nonprofit group’s business practices.

According to one report, an ACORN employee said the purpose of "[f]raudulent cards" was "[t]o cause confusion on election day to keep polls open longer," "[t]o allow people who can’t vote to vote," and "[t]o allow to vote multiple times."

Hat Tip: Knowledge Is Power.

Let’s See: Raise Funds For Boxer Or Go To Memorial Of Deepwater Horizon Workers? Guess Which Was More Important To Obama?

Go ahead and guess… and any guess that includes honoring the dead doesn’t count.

CNN reported tonight (CNN?) that President Obama skipped the Memorial Service for the 11 workers who died in the Deepwater Horizon explosion because he was attending a fundraiser for Barbara Boxer.

According his official schedule, President Obama did not attend the May 25 memorial service in Jackson, Mississippi for the workers who died in the Deepwater Horizon explosion because he was en route to a fundraiser for Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California, in San Francisco.

Obama Lied (Again): Leaked Draft Treasury Docs Show Most CANNOT Keep Their Existing Health Care.

OK.  If you are shocked by this, please leave this site and go sit in a closet or something.  No Conservative or even slightly intelligent person EVER believed his crap.

In a late Friday afternoon blog post followed by a fuller early evening report, David Hogberg and Sean Higgins at Investors Business Daily confirmed that Obama’s never-credible core promise is on the brink of being shattered, and that the employer-related calculations by Cato’s Cannon were essentially correct (graphically illustrated by IBD at the top right):

Internal administration documents reveal that up to 51% of employers may have to relinquish their current health care coverage because of ObamaCare.

Small firms will be even likelier to lose existing plans.

The "midrange estimate is that 66% of small employer plans and 45% of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfathered status by the end of 2013," according to the document.

In the worst-case scenario, 69% of employers — 80% of smaller firms — would lose that status, exposing them to far more provisions under the new health law.

…. The 83-page document, a joint project of the departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and the IRS, examines the effects that ObamaCare’s regulations would have on existing, or "grandfathered," employer-based health care plans.

Draft copies of the document were reportedly leaked to House Republicans during the week and began circulating Friday morning. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., posted it on his Web site Friday afternoon.

… In a statement, Posey said the document showed that the arguments in favor of ObamaCare were a "bait and switch."

… (A White House) source conceded: "It is difficult to predict how plans and employers will behave in the coming years, but if plans make changes that negatively impact consumers, then they will lose their grandfather status."

… In total, 66% of small businesses and 47% of large businesses made a change in their health care plans last year that would have forfeited their grandfathered status.

So, Now That Cash For Clunkers Is Over, How Did That Socialist Experiment Do?

How did it do?  About what you expected.  It sure looks like it killed a nice upwards trend.

Gee, once more, liberals and Dems don’t get economics 101.

Pro-Subsidy Liberal Stabs Dem Rep. Weiner

Assuming, of course that the goat in question was a liberal.  I think it was.  It seemed to be pro-subsidies, wore natural fibers.  Unwashed hippie comes to mind… or goat.  Same thing.

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) was injured by a mohair goat on Thursday during a press conference to highlight subsidies to the mohair industry.

The goat nicked Weiner’s right hand with one of its pointy, foot-long horns, hard enough to draw blood.

Part that made me laugh (yeah, I am not really mature I guess) was the file name of the picture:  goatweiner.jpg

Reuters Once Again Caught Using Modified Pictures To Push Anti-Israel Agenda, Denies Political Motive. Yeah, right.

Ok.  You look at these two pictures.  Now add articles about how the “peaceful activists” were attacked.  So, does the fact that the “peaceful activists” are armed with knives change the impression for you?

Far from the first time Reuters did stuff like this.

The British-based Reuters news agency has been stung for the second time by charges that it edited politically sensitive photos in a way that casts Israel in a bad light. But this time Reuters claims it wasn’t at fault.

The news agency reacted to questions raised by an American blogger who showed that Reuters’ photo service edited out knives and blood traces from pictures taken aboard the activist ship Mavi Marmara during a clash with Israeli commandos last week. Nine people were killed and scores were injured in the clash.

Well, what do they have to say for themselves?

“The images in question were made available in Istanbul, and following normal editorial practice were prepared for dissemination which included cropping at the edges," the news agency said in a statement. "When we realized that a dagger was inadvertently cropped from the images, Reuters immediately moved the original set as well."

Oh, so it’s normal to crop the edges?  I do see both sides are cropped, even though the most important part is cropped out.  So, I guess its a normal mistake…  ummm…  So explain this one:

In this one, the only cropping done was to hide the knife and the blood on the railing.  Of course, Reuters hasn’t commented on that yet.

As a little taste, enjoy the photoshopped goodness that is Reuters “reporting”

Original is on the left, if you can’t figure it out on your own.  And if you can’t, you are either a Dem or blind… redundant, right?
